About the Collection <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Ratna Roy and David J Capers have spent the last thirty years of their lives building a very special collection of Odissi dance. Beginning in 1985, when Capers first accompanied Roy (who was travelling on a Fullbright Fellowship) to India to record the the reconstruction of neoclassical Odissi dance, the two have been researching, photographing, and making video<\/p>\n

and sound recordings of the preeminent scholars, gurus of Odissi dance for decades. Dr Roy herself is one of the preeminent scholars, gurus, and dancers, and is the foremost dancer in the oldest tradition of the dance, that of Guru Pankaj Charan Das. She received her Lifetime Achievement Award from Odisha, the home of Odissi dance in 2015. Capers is a celebrated videographer and photographer whose work has been presented at conferences and exhibited around the globe. Together, Roy and Capers have been able to build an archive of the theory , practice , evolution, history, and heritage of Odissi dance that is without peer in all the world.<\/p>\n
